Former Treasurer and current Rhode Island Governor Gina Raimondo made pension-gutting the centerpiece of her political career – with help from John Arnold. Arnold donated hundreds of thousands of dollars to Engage RI, the PAC behind Raimondo’s campaign to cut benefits and move workers into a “hybrid” retirement system that includes a 401(k) component. The Arnold Foundation also helped finance a Brookings Institution report and an Urban Institute report trumpeting Raimondo's pension cuts.
Later, Arnold funded the American LeadHERship PAC – the Super PAC that supported Raimondo’s gubernatorial campaign.
